Precap: Dadisa invites shiv along with his faamily, for celebrating anandi’s first sankranti with them. Meenu is at a loss to say anything, as she doesnt know how to refuse dadisa and also how to tell ira about it.

Sahe asks meenu if she didnt tell dadisa that they had earlier made a plan with anandi and shiv. Meenu doesnt know what to say. Anandi is a little tensed seeing meenu’s expression, while talking on the phone to ira.
